Jessi’s Message Fund was created in memory of Jessica Redfield Ghawi. On July 20, a gunman entered the Century 16 Movie Theaters in Aurora, Colorado and began firing. Jessica Ghawi, aka @JessicaRedField was one of those victims. Jessica was an aspiring sports broadcaster who had moved to Colorado only a year before to pursue her dream of a career in sports journalism.

Jessi’s Message Fund was established by Jessica’s mother, Sandy, to support and advocate for a safer America by reducing gun violence. The Fund seeks to empower other victims and survivors of violence across the country, teaching them tell their stories effectively and to advocate in their communities for violence prevention.
